EU-US divisions on on climate ahead of summit

Divisions over climate change threaten to derail a set piece EU-US summit and overshadow moves to strengthen transatlantic economic ties. With time running out before Monday's meeting in Washington, some EU diplomats suggested that a weak declaration on global warming would be worse than no statement at all. The German EU presidency said it was confident that the communiqué language will be agreed.

However, European diplomats cast doubt over the likelihood of a significant breakthrough. The US has dug in over its insistence that there should be no commitment to binding targets unless developing countries such as China and India follow suit. The hard line from the White House prompted internal divisions on the European side and tension among different parts of the government of Germany.
